Because of increasing incidence of mumps in a cohort of underimmunized young adults and the concern about the impact of this disease on the USAF recruit population, two studies were undertaken. These studies took a retrospective look at mumps in the active duty population, a cost analysis of immunizing all or only susceptible individuals, the actual antibody response in a group of 276 recruits in basic training, the demographic patterns of susceptibility and the types of previous immunization documentation. The conclusions were that the numbers of new mumps cases per year did not justify immunizing all recruits or screening for mumps antibodies and only immunizing known susceptibles.
由于在一群未充分免疫的年轻成年人中腮腺炎发病率不断上升，且担心该疾病对美国空军新兵群体的影响，因此开展了两项研究。这些研究回顾了现役军人中的腮腺炎情况、对全体或仅对易感个体进行免疫接种的成本分析、一组276名新兵在基础训练中的实际抗体反应、易感性的人口统计学模式以及既往免疫接种记录的类型。结论是，每年新增腮腺炎病例数并不足以证明应对所有新兵进行免疫接种或筛查腮腺炎抗体，而只需对已知的易感者进行免疫接种。
